Printing on both sides of the paper
When a duplex printing accessory is installed, you can automatically print on both sides of a page. If a duplex printing accessory is not installed, you can manually print on both sides of a page by feeding the paper through the printer a second time.
To print on both sides by using the duplex-printing accessory (HP Color LaserJet 2605dn and 2605dtn)
| 1.
| Insert enough paper into one of the trays to accommodate the print job. If you are loading special paper such as letterhead, load it in one of the following ways:
| ●
| For tray 1, load the letterhead paper with the front side up and the bottom-edge feeding into the printer first.
|
| ●
| For all other trays, load the letterhead paper with the front side down and the top edge at the back of the tray.
|
| CAUTION
|
Do not load paper that is heavier than 105 g/m2 (28-lb bond) as it is not supported by the duplex accessory. Jamming might result.
|
